My friend, Dan McCarthy of the Great Leadership Blog (Dan just gives, gives, gives and never takes), is hosting his monthly Leadership Carnival with the wit and/or wisdom of more than 30 leadership bloggers including yours truly.

There are a lot of great posts there. A couple in particular that I wish I was clever enough to write include this provocative poem on corporate reorganizations by David Zinger and Loraine Antrim's pass along of Jamie Quatro's take on how things might have come across if God had texted the Ten Commandments. Just goes to show you that custom fit communications does matter! It's right up there with one of my all time faves - if Abraham Lincoln had used PowerPoint to deliver the Gettysburg Address.

Executive coach Scott Eblin’s goal is to help you succeed at the next level of leadership. Throughout the week, he’ll offer his take on the leadership lessons in the news and his advice on your most pressing leadership questions. A former government executive, Scott is a graduate of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and is the author of The Next Level: What Insiders Know About Executive Success.
